Jules Verne is just an example. I have many books translated and also in original language. So I can't specify the author by name.
So I want to display all books which has the same author and same #original_title. The author is crucial for comparison, as the same title/#original_title can have multiple authors. So I will filter out all books for which I have translation.
Example or returned result:
Author ------------------ Name ------------------------- #original_title
Jules Verne ---- Five weeks in ballon -------------- Cinq semaines en ballon
Jules Verne ---- Cinq semaines en ballon --------- Cinq semaines en ballon
Victor Hugo ---- Notre-Dame de Paris --------------- Notre-Dame de Paris
Victor Hugo ---- The Hunchback of Notre-Dame ---- Notre-Dame de Paris

Standard Calibre has functionality to "find all books that have the same author".
MCS does what Standard Calibre cannot do.
You should SWAP "sideways", putting your Title parameters on the left. Then, change the middle boolean logic operator to "inactive". That means "inactive for this search; disregard it; just use the parameters on the left side".
Simplifying your parameters may solve your problem.
